The Jetsons was a popular animated TV series in my childhood. It took place in the future and had people flying around in space vehicles instead of using land-based cars.
George Jetson, one of the main characters, was born on July 31, 2022 which seemed very far away in the 1960s.
The Thing was released on June 25, 1982. It was based on a novella that had previously been filmed in 1951.
Nine years ago, the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act. This was an awful decision, right up there with this week’s trifecta of Miranda/Roe/guns.
Blonde on Blonde was released on June 20, 1966. I think it’s Dylan’s best album.
From the Wikipedia article:
Blonde on Blonde was released on June 20, 1966, but for many years, May 16 was thought to be the correct date.[120] Michael Gray, author of The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia, had contended that the release date was actually around late June or early July.[30] This coincides with the album’s promotion in Billboard, which carried a full-page Columbia advertisement on June 25,[121] selected the album as a “New Action LP” on July 9,[122] and ran a review and article on July 16.[108] In 2017, after viewing a Sony database of album releases, Heylin found that the release date was in fact June 20.[1] This is supported by the fact that an overdub on “Fourth Time Around” was recorded in June.[120]
I’ve been reading this excellent book about the recording of Blonde on Blonde – That Thin Wild Mercury Music
I have posted about this two-record set before which was taken from live recordings made in January and February 1974. It does a great job of conveying what the shows were like – I saw one on January 6, 1974 in Philadelphia. Basically, it’s a shorter version of the concert. Dylan did five songs solo, the album has three. The Band did 11 songs, the album has eight. Multiple shows were recorded but I read Dylan doesn’t like the tour so I doubt we well see a Bootleg series set with them.
Sad!
